Brief summary (from the registry)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the intensity of Isometric Contraction of shoulder external rotators, comparing the effect of a high-level IC (80% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) versus a low-level Isometric Contraction (20% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) on pain intensity, pain thresholds, and function in chronic pain shoulder patients.
